Rats are usually most active at night and can give away their presence with noise which can be extreme, therefore causing you sleepless nights and stress.

Signs of Rats can include:

• Droppings – Brown Rat droppings are dark brown in a tapered, spindle shape – like a grain of rice.
• Smear Marks – Grease and dirt on their bodies leaves smudges on surfaces.
• Gnawing – Black rats are agile climbers and often found in lofts. You might notice gnaw marks on wires, cabling or items stored in the loft.
• Burrows – Brown rats are well known for digging extensive burrow systems for shelter, food storage and nesting.
• Nests – Rats will shred available materials such as loft insulation, cardboard and other soft items to make nests.

Where in your home or business should you start checking for the signs of Rats, their nests and damage they can cause?

Rats are agile climbers, who can jump, gnaw and burrow.

You can often find Rats within the loft space or walls of the house have entered through damaged drains or a hole within the properties foundations.

Outside Rats can make their presence known in many ways, especially if you are presenting them with the golden three, Food, Harbourage and Water.

Rats are very opportunistic.

Can I treat Rats Myself?

Realistically yes, as long as you are able to understand their behaviour, which is no easy task.

Rats exhibit a rather severe reaction to anything new in their environment which can make trapping very difficult for the amateur.

Non professional use Rodenticides are considerably weaker than their professional counterparts, often inducing bait shyness which can cause a real issue with effective control and therefore seriously prolonging treatment time, they are also expensive in comparison to value.

It is an offence for an amateur to obtain or use professional strength Rodenticides.
